Mileage rate rise from HMRC is a win for workers — won by our members.

“UNISON has campaigned hard for this long overdue change,” Andrea Egan, UNISON general secretary

“Workers who use their own cars to do their job have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket for far too many years”.

“This simple measure will provide immediate help for countless frontline workers in public services. Particularly at a time when living costs are going through the roof again.”

“There’s still more to do to ensure no one is losing out and the union will continue to campaign for more over the coming months.”

UNISON GS on the announcement that the chancellor is raising the mileage rate by 10p a mile.
